It's the small things that matter most



It is the small things that matter most

Your heart sings fresh buttered toast

Family brings together a Sunday roast


Smitten a handwritten letter in the post

Jaunts or saunters down Britain’s coast

Snow balls glisten child’s mitten the host


Don’t be a Scrooge listen to every ghost

Best bet to forget regret but don’t boast

Entranced by happenstance engrossed


In the hub of a pub toast with mein host

Your flotilla through strife of life will coast 

If don’t let get pushed from pillar to post


As God damn it our planet will soon roast

Foremost and utmost remember to toast

Little treasures that every day does boast


Teeny weeny pleasures our own outpost

Just make sure you are regularly dosed

With those small things that matter most
